A TAUNT.

If now the legislature will give us
. law, placing the parents of mulatto
children in the changing, it would
be worth while. -REv. ATTIcUs G.
HAYGooD, in Atlanta Constitution.
II the Reverend gentleman means
what he says, it might put number
Of his brothers in yellow in the
chain gang, for there are a number
Of inulatto fathers in this country
who have mulatto children, but if he
means that he would prevent licen-
tiousness and miscegenation, he will
find that Georgia already has laws
imposing a fine or punishment in the
chain gang Tor such disgraceful con-
duct, and it only remains for the
gentleman to 20 before the grand
jury in the county where the ofense
is committed, and, if he has the proof,
he can soon start the party or par
ties on their way to the chain gang,
and then his heart can rejoice and
he can swell the convict camps.
But Mr.. Haygood knows these facts
and need not to be told Of them !;
therefore, it appears to us that the
above remark is intended as taunt
and not with a view Of obtaining fur
ther legislation on the matter COM
planned Of. Since he has been man
ager of the Slater school fund, his
taste for his ''brother in black" has
become one of great social affinity,
and if he can curry favor with North
ern philanthropists who have funds
to distribute, and he can be made
the distributor at a fat salary, he
don't mind casting few slurs on the
people among whom he lives.

LOST MOUNTAIN.

The angel of death has again visited
our community, this time bearing away lit
tie Minnie Watson. She was a very pretty
and sweet tempered child, whose modest
ways made her the favorite of her school
mates and the idol of her parents. She was
but ten years old, yet she lived long enough
to win the hearts of all who knew her. The
funeral services were conducted at Midway
church by Rev. Mr.. Weaver last Sunay at.
ternoon, after which her remains were in
tered in the cemetery at that place Our
tenderest sympathies to the bereaved.
Mr. Bunyan Robinson has sold his farm

dence of Mr.. W. R. Clay, last Saturday af
ternoon. Messrs. Starnes and Goodman

Correspondents usually make it conven-
lent to hold the printer responsible for all
mistakes which occur in their articles. So

A HORRIBLE RAILROAD ACCIDENT.

An excursion train en- route to
Niagara Falls, on the Toledo, Peoria,
and Western Railroad, composed of
six sleeping cars, six day coaches and
three baggage cars, containing $50
passengers, drawn by two engines,
fell through a burning bridge on
Wednesday night, the 10th inst,
three miles east of Chatsworth, ILL
nois. The passengers were from
various points in central Illinois, from
Peoria, Canton, Ell Paso, Washington,
and in tact, all stations along the
line, some as far West as Burlington
and Keokuk, Iowa. The engines
were running at about thirty miles
an hour. A fifteen foot bridge across
dry run, was discovered to be on
fire by the engineer but he was una
BILE to check his speed, and the train
plunged into it, wrecking and tele-
scoping nearly every car, killing over
"a persons, men, women and chill
dren, and wounding over 80 others.
To add to the horror OF the situation,
the survivors had to carry dirt with
their hands and pile it on the burn
ing timbers to stay the progress of the
flames and to prevent the fire from
catching the wrecking coaches and
burning alive the wounded. A good
shower of rain came up and assisted
the brave workers. When day light
dawned the scene was a most horri-
BILE and CHASTITY one, and the air was
filled with the screams and groans
of the wounded and dying. A band
of pickpockets robbed the dead and
wounded OF their clothing, watches,
and money, hyenas in human form
destitute of all feeling.

A LIVELY DEBATE

On Wednesday of last week in the
Legislature DIR. FELTON, replied to
Hon. Edgar Simmons, who delivered
speech on the convict. reform
atory bill. The Doctors speech was
severe chastisement of Mr.. Sim
mons, full of sarcasm and terrible in
vective. Those who heard it, say
they never heard such a speech be-
fore in their lives. If they had been
in the seventh district during DR..
Felton's campaigns for Congress, they
would have heard the like, for DR..
Felton's peculiar forte is abuse, de-
nunciation and sarcasm. His nature
is one Of malignant vindictiveness,
and he is as happy when the occasion
arrives to display such feelings, as
John Sullivan is when he wants to
knock some pugullst out of time. Eel
ton is an.old. coon at the business.
Although young man, Mr.. Sim
mons on Thursday had an opportuni-
ty to reply and he lacerated the doc
tors cuticle and rubbed the salt OF
his past record in to his sore back
and made him vince terribly. lie
was equally as severe as DR.. FELTON,
and left the Doctor in bad plight.
We regret that the Speaker of the
House should allow such personal
discussions to enter into the debate
of public questions. He should have
declared both speakers out of order
and made them confine their remarks
to the question under consideration.
Legislators are not sent there to air
their eloquence in personal debates
at the expense of the people of Geor-
gia, and it is not to the credit of the
Legislature that such wild scenes
are permitted to take place, If the
members t~ve nothing more impor-
tant to engage their time, they had
better adjourn and save the tax pay
ers such extrayagant waste of money.

been no bin OF this kind introduced.
Coaycrs Solid South,
Oh, yes, bill taxing dogs has
been introduced, but the committee
reported on it uniayorably. There
will be none passed, however. The
